I didn't do toooo much to this one. But sometimes. Less is just....more. See the before. So. What I did do was take it in on the sides and arms. I then made a felt dahlia from this tutorial and sewed it to the front right side. If you were really ambitious it might be cool to do a whole bunch of these flowers in varying sizes and shades and overlap them all over the front.I can't wait to wear it tomorrow. One nice thing about doing these daily is that I always have a cool new thing to wear the next day. I wore Day 3's outfit to my biweekly mother's group and got compliments on the sweater. Go figure:)

I also got the woolen skirt from the Community Aid store as well as yesterday's skirt. I've been into the wool skirt lately. Looks all fall and scholastic. All I had to do was trim a foot off the bottom, same as yesterday's. Sooo loving this month:)

Oh and YES everyone. It was in the purse:) What happened was I never use that purse and dug it out of the closet for the photos. So after I was done I immediately put the purse back in the closet trying to get the house clean and totally forgot about its existence. Since my purse was in the closet I couldn't even hear it ringing when I tried to call. So frustrating. Someone mentioned praying to St. Anthony in my last post and you know what, I had. And I found it after. And that's not the first time that's happened.

OMG you are amazing...I seriously run to the computer each morning to see what sweater you have transformed....so much hat as soon as my kids are up we are hitting goodwill :) I just started sewing a few months ago and I am horrible but never thought to practice on old sweaters :)

i'm so glad someone else said they've been stalking this site since the sweater make-overs started, 'cause i have too! i re-did my first last night and am t-o-t-a-l-l-y trying out these dahlias for the other. this is so much fun - thanks again!

Love it! When I saw the first post, I immediately went to my local thrift store and snatched up a couple of cardigans to embellish...still haven't done them, but I'm still getting inspired!!Awesome idea!!
